A lot of businesses are stuck with old systems they can't "just" update to a new OS version because everyone who knew why the system exists and what weird quirks it has, has long left the company. Alma 9 comes with ABI-incompatible upgrades to postgres/java/mysql/libc/literally every library you could possibly depend on, which is rough on in-house software that nobody wants to fund ongoing maintenance for.
It just tends to hit RHEL/CentOS harder than other distros because they're considered "enterprise" and thus get used more by the sort of dysfunctional companies who manage themselves into dead ends.
